A broken heart. A fractured family. A second chance that neither of them saw coming.

Jessica Lane wasn't supposed to be a widow at thirty-five. Left to raise two spirited children while grieving the love of her life, she's spent years in survival mode — keeping busy, keeping strong, and keeping her heart locked away. Love, she believes, doesn't get a second act.

Then she meets Luke.

Quiet, steady, and carrying a grief of his own, Luke has mastered the art of moving forward without healing. When he and Jessica cross paths at a local community centre, what begins as cautious companionship slowly grows into something deeper — something that just might be worth the risk.

But healing isn't a straight road. As the ghosts of the past stir and the future begins to take shape, Jessica and Luke must decide if they can open their hearts — not to forget what they've lost, but to build something real beside it.

A Broken Heart and a Broken Road is a tender, deeply human story about love after loss, the families we choose, and the quiet courage it takes to believe in joy again.
